Farmington Roof Pros provides professional emergency tarping in Farmington, NM for residential and commercial properties across the San Juan Basin. The urgent roof call we take most often in Farmington arrives in December, and the correct first move is not a ladder. It is the water shutoff valve. A frozen cooler line above a ceiling will do far more damage than the weather ever manages.
That is the whole difference between emergency work here and emergency work somewhere wet. If water is coming through a ceiling in the middle of a hard freeze, the source is almost certainly a supply line, a pan or a split fitting on a rooftop appliance, and it runs until somebody closes a valve. A tarp over it accomplishes nothing at all. The roof itself is frequently in perfect condition on those calls, which surprises people considerably.
So our dispatch script starts with questions. Is it raining right now. Is your cooler still connected to water. Where is the shutoff. We have talked people through closing a valve over the phone and turned a ceiling replacement into a drywall patch, and that particular call did not earn us a dollar in tarping. Attic temperatures drop far below freezing here overnight, so an unheated run of copper has no protection.
When the situation genuinely needs cover, we do it properly. Heavy reinforced polyethylene, run from above the ridge down past the damage, fastened to furring strips screwed through the field so the ties are not simply nailed into open shingle, edges sealed, and all of it laid to shed rather than to dam. That advice costs us the job and saves you several thousand dollars, which we consider a fair trade.
Those screws leave holes, which is why a tarp is a bridge and never a solution. We give a written window, usually two to three weeks depending on season and material lead times, and the tarping charge is credited against the permanent repair when we do that work. Nobody is asked to sign a contingency agreement at midnight. We photograph the tarp installation so there is a record of the condition before permanent work starts.
Inside matters as much as outside. Water entering at a curb runs along the top chord of a truss and drops in a different room entirely, so we trace the path in the attic, pull wet insulation before it compacts, and tell you honestly whether this is a roofing claim or a plumbing one. Long tarps are a warning sign, and any roofer leaving one on for two months is telling you something.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, lead-flanged pipe boot collars, soldered pan flashing under a cooler stand, counter-flashing let into a masonry reglet, SBS-modified bitumen cap sheet, heat-welded TPO seams — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Farmington and nearby communities including Aztec, Bloomfield, Shiprock, Crouch Mesa.

Materials, equipment and how we do emergency tarping
The difference between emergency tarping that lasts and emergency tarping that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, lead-flanged pipe boot collars, soldered pan flashing under a cooler stand, counter-flashing let into a masonry reglet, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Farmington job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the San Juan Basin means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Farmington Chooses Farmington Roof Pros
- ✓We quote the curbs, stacks and flues as their own line items, so you can see what the leak actually costs before deciding on the field.
- ✓Deck photographs go to you during the tear-off, not into a folder. Soft sheathing gets located and shown while there is still time to look at it.
- ✓Our inspection calendar runs late March and early October, matched to evaporative cooler startup and drain-down, because that is when a Farmington roof gets wet.
- ✓We refuse contingency agreements. You get a written price for the repair whether or not an insurer ever pays a dollar toward it.
